Anyone at a consulting firm that’s hiring generalist consultants? I’ve been unemployed for nearly a year, and I’ve applied to over 2000 jobs on LI. I have several years in consulting (mostly worked on implementations in PMO) with a few years in industry. I was part of layoffs early in the year.

That’s a really tough spot to be in going nearly a year without landing something despite your consulting background and over 2000 applications would wear anyone down. The market has been extremely competitive, and even strong candidates with PMO and implementation experience are struggling to get traction. Sometimes it’s not your skills at all — it’s about positioning, timing, and getting your materials in front of the right people.

When I was going through a difficult stretch in my own job search, I worked with a job search specialist who helped me refine my approach and eventually land my new role at Grant Thornton. If you’re open to guidance or support in getting your strategy aligned with what firms are looking for right now, you can reach out to her at carolynchristiehiringteam.gmail.com.

Network with other veterans in target companies and get them to refer you internally. Don't bother applying without a referral

For those of you who got out at 10, do you wish that you rode it out to 20? I’m at a crossroad and I’m not sure what to do. Have some active/reserve time, wrapping up graduate school, and am now considering either a) come back to the business world or b) go active and retire before 50 and live off a nice pension. Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.

Hey all, transitioned from the military last spring and got a UX product manager position at a bank.

Pay is good, but missing the mission aspect of work. Have interview offers from Microsoft and Amazon for cleared PM work, but most of them are less product manager work and more adjacent program work.

This might just be grass is greener thinking, but would love to hear if you have made the transition if you enjoy cleared PM work or do you wish you stayed in the non-cleared space?
